A Yellow Counterweight being used with The Eye of Cthulhu on two Target Dummies, one being behind the player.
Counterweights are accessories sold by the Traveling Merchant and the Skeleton Merchant. They fire a second yoyo-type projectile after hitting an enemy with a yoyo, dealing the same damage of the yoyo and traveling towards it, then arcing over the player.
There are 6 variants, all functioning identically.

Notes[]
- Multiple equipped counterweights do not stack. Only one will function at a time.
- The particular color equipped will display on a character, unlike the Yoyo Bag, which shows a random color.
- A counterweight does not stack with the Yoyo Bag.
Trivia[]
- Counterweights are real-world yo-yo accessories used to aid in tricks where the yo-yo is swung from the middle of the string rather than its end. Real-world counterweights are often patterned after (or made out of) polyhedral dice, and Terraria's follow suit: the Blue and Red Counterweights are four-sided (tetrahedral) dice, the Purple and Green Counterweights are six-sided (cubic/hexahedral) dice, and the Black and Yellow Counterweights are twelve-sided (dodecahedral) dice.
